Woolly jumper

Feb 12 2008

A daredevil parachutist survived a risky jump from a bridge, only to die from exposure as he tried to walk back to civilisation out of the valley below.

Richard Heaton, 27, successfully parachuted off the Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls, Idaho, but was reported missing by his girlfriend after a day.

His body was found by searchers the next day. Another jumper said: "Never having jumped this site, it is unlikely that Richard knew the trail to climb out."
